    After all the attention NDP Leader Tom Mulcair received during yesterday’s Question Period when he referenced the cult hit Arrested Development, the Liberals must have felt left out. Today, MP Joyce Murray claimed the gimmicky question of the day.

    Murray asked Human Resources Minister Diane Finley why the government’s happy to spend millions of dollars on media monitoring of its own MPs when it could, she thinks, better spend the money on student summer jobs.

    Catch the gimmicky part towards the end of the question.
